While this movie was graphic, it may be said that the "gross" scenes were treated with tremendous care. There was no doubt as to the message, but ALL was not displayed to the eye. Tom Hanks was ... well ... TOM HANKS ... so profoundly professional and true-to-character. Ewan McGregor alone would have been worth the watching. And, of course, the music by Hans Zimmer and an EXTRAORDINARY violinist so ably set the scenes in emotion. Great show.
For us baby-boomers who grew up scheduling classes around Star Trek every afternoon, this movie was bedrock gratification. Even though the characters were pre-series portrayed, their quirks and foibles were true and recognizable. The action, action, action was not unpalatable, either ;-) Back stories were plausible and the presentation was captivating. Good show!
